Even though it was emotionally draining, I had a great time in California. My mom always takes me to some new fun place to eat. We started the trip off right with a visit to a country BBQ place. Fried pickles and sweet tea? Yes please!
While I was visiting I helped my mom sort things so that we could have a massive garage sale. We spent four days going through all of our junk. My mom kept every single toy I had ever had…so it took a lot of time. And of course the kid in me wanted to play with everything. Did anyone else have The Littlest Pet shop toys? This isn’t even half of what I had!
It seems like these toys are selling well on ebay so this lot is what I decided I could part with…..plus it was a good excuse to set all of them up one last time!
They are just too cute for words. Hopefully I’ll have a daughter who will enjoy playing with them some day.
I didn’t get a chance to take photos of the garage sale goods until it was almost over. I can’t believe we still had SO much stuff left over! Our goal was to sell the big stuff: piano, couch, dining set, bookcases, and dressers…and we did!
That’s my cousin sitting on the ground going through records and my aunt standing to his right. They were a huge help to us that day. The best part (other than the cash we made) was seeing some old friends who stopped by. Both Erin and Abby came, as well as some mom’s of a few of my other friends….so good to catch up! Too bad I didn’t take any photos.
My mom’s dog Sydney was really confused by all of the boxes. She’s getting old and not used to so much activity.
She was doubly confused when I tried to take a photo of her wearing my old pink boots. Oops. I settled for a photo of them next to her…and she was scared of them the rest of the week.
I can imagine it must have been a struggle getting rid of things from your childhood. sounds like you got through it though! Love those pink boots and fried pickles and sweet tea??? Sounds delicious.
I LOVE SYDNEY!!!!! Is she a Collie or a Sheltie!?! I have a soft spot for this breed! 🙂 I had a sheltie growing up and everyone called her Lassie! hehe
I never have any cash on me to stop at yard sales…dang plastic atm card is my cash LOL
Sydney is such a gorgeous doggie!! I'm cracking up that you tried to get a picture of her in the boots. Hahahaha too priceless.
Awww, Sydney is so cute… but totally dubious of the boots! I can't believe you had SO MUCH STUFF left either! That must have been a HUGE sale – but yay for selling the big stuff!!
it was so fun to stop by and see you! i gave those pyrex bowls to my sister and she is in heaven! 🙂
Ahh I had a bunch of those My Littlest Pet Shop toys – what a trip down memory lane!
I LOVE Littlest Pet Shop! I totally had my own collection when I was little! That is so so neat! 🙂
I LOVED The Littlest Pet Shop! I had so many! And, I love pickled chips! Didn't know they had them out in Cali! Makes me proud!
That last picture is just adorable! I bet it was crazy going through all of those toys… totally memory lane!
Now I'm craving fried pickles! 🙂 I love all of your photos, I had some of those pet shop toys when I was growing up! And Sydney is absolutely adorable!
Wow, Sydney is just gorgeous!! And I love the little cowboy boots in the picture. You will have to save those for your little girl one day!:)
I'm not a pickle person, but fried pickles… love them! Especially the ones from Hooters (they are the best and the sauce is so yummy)!!
Looks like you had a lot of fun going through memories 🙂
Those fried pickles look amazing! Your garage sale was HUGE! Glad you hit your goal, I know that had to be so much work.
